👉 Troubleshooting engineering is the systematic process of identifying, isolating, and resolving issues within a system, product, or process to restore functionality and performance. It involves analyzing symptoms, gathering data through diagnostics, and methodically eliminating potential causes to pinpoint the root problem. Engineers use tools like diagnostic software, data analysis, and iterative testing to understand malfunctions, whether they stem from hardware failures, software bugs, human error, or environmental factors. By prioritizing logical steps—from verifying inputs and outputs to testing hypotheses—troubleshooting ensures efficient resolution, minimizes downtime, and prevents recurrence, blending technical expertise with critical thinking to maintain system reliability.
